It is very simple to make ratings go up fir TNA. Advertise TNA. Its simple most people don't know about TNA and thats why they have low ratings. How many times have you saw shows you haven't seen advertised and hlthen checked them out. TNA just have to show comercial of when they are on and what channel if it is a picture advertisment just show a picture of some crazy spot e.g. Kurt Angle moonsault from cage or One of AJ crazy moves etc. If its a video advertisment then show good footage of the x-division(show it as a kind of risky and extreme show things that make people go "wow" and "oooohhhh"/"ooowww" and the divas divison(advertise in T&A style even if thats not what the division is) then add in a voice over hyping these and mentioning that TNA features such stars as Hulk Hogan,Rob Van Dam,Kurt Angle, Sting, Aj Styles, Jeff Hardy.

At the moment the ratings are 'good enough' for SpikeTV, but if they continue to drop to the level where other SpikeTV programs score better ratings, then there is no reason for Spike to continue to invest in TNA. But as long as TNA scores higher ratings than the other Spike shows everything will be fine.

But ratings definately matter, they determine how willing Spike is to put money in TNA.

That's TNA's problem, not mine.

They can start doing 3.0s, but if Russo comes back and starts booking garbage (again), I'm just gonna stop watching (again).

IMO they need there own Rock and Stonecold right now and a legit goldberg type of guy and more better advertised tag team and also need a one standout female wrestler like Chyna or Torri ETC.

-You have your HHH in Bobby Rhode
-You have your Chris Jericho in Joey Ryan ( who has potential ).
- You already have your CM punk in Austin Areis.

But we dont have our rock or goldberg or stone cold guy and we dont have a beefed up midcard yet. Right now we have talent but we need to get Crimson more involved as a dominating opponent and have Magnus pushed more to championchip role.

We are missing some things Kurt Angle needs to act more like his dorky side in 2002 and get a bit more built .

aDVERTISING - MORE character- and more pushes from other wrestlers and good story lines. We also need our Kane or Undertaker type of wrestler and music needs to fit more to the wrestlers and not all rock n roll n junk and also make the stadium have a more feel to it like special . There slowly doing things right.

People always like to throw out general terms like 'get a good marketing team' and 'spend more money on advertising'. Listen if you know where this magical marketing is in the world I am sure there are a million companies out there that will pay you MILLIONS of dollars to bring that team to their attention. Also, when it comes to advertising: how much is too much? At what dollar amount would you say....that's enough. All that stuff is easier said then done.

One of the things that TNA will have to do in order to move the needle, is bring wrestling into the 21st century. I have covered this in part topics. This means that EVERYTHING from the top-to-bottom needs to be re-examined.
